I hope you all enjoy the sale. There will be outstanding images and documents that I have gathered for more than 30 years. It is a portion of my collection. I am still collecting and I am in good health so no worries. My recent retirement from the HR world where I spent most of my career will free me up to to focus more keenly on the website and finding quality images for you as well as continuing to build my personal collection to share with you like the image below.
Below is an image from my collection for your enjoyment:

Henry Degen Sixth plate beautifully tinted daguerreotype of Dedan in a red uniform, sword at this side and a bearskin hat on the table. . Inside the case the period ink inscription reads,”H.D. Degan when a member of the Lynn Lt Infantry 1856”. During the Civil War he served nine months on the Field and Staff of the 50th Mass Infantry.
